Hopping Juan Sofrito
Oscar: "The Hoppin' John, I want to represent myself on the plate, but this is also a humble dish, and I think I'm gonna go with an egg as the center part. I'm not trying to hide it behind any giant protein." Oscar: "I'm doing like a little play on a Puerto Rican rice. It's a little something I'm calling Hopping Juan." Oscar: "I made a dish I'm calling Hopping Juan Sofrito. Crispy bacon mixed into the beans, Carolina gold rice, and a poached egg. I don't want to hide behind some Ferrari protein. I just want it to be a humble dish."
Safe. {Greg}: "Chef Oscar's feels like hot and comforting. I've eaten Chef Oscar's dish before. That don't mean it's a better dish, but it feels correct." {Tristan}: "100%." {Padma}: "I did find Oscar's rice to be a little under-seasoned, but it was a really good dish."
